THE BRIGHT AWAKE ADDON
1. WHO NEEDS THE BRIGHT AWAKE ADDON?
You wake up in the morning and you're still tired? You drag yourself through the day and would like to take one nap after the other? Would you like to avoid coffee and other caffeinated drinks, but can't find an equivalent alternative for your daily energy boost that will help you concentrate?
Then we have something new for you! We have developed our latest product so that you can start the day fresh and awake and no longer have to hold back a midday slump during the day, but stay mentally fit. Because at mybacs, our mission is to find solutions to everyday problems that stand in the way of your well-being. Our top priority is to be able to respond even more intensively to all your personal needs. Therefore, we have dealt extensively with the influence of the sleep-wake cycle on health and well-being. The result is our new AddOn Bright Awake.
Helps against:
tiredness, lack of energy, fatigue, brain fog
Good for
waking up, keeping awake, concentration, focus, energy
Because we want to fully address your individual needs, we have two different versions of our Bright Awake for you. Do you love coffee for the caffeine's sake, but want to reduce your coffee consumption? Then go for the unbound caffeine version! Free caffeine is the active ingredient found in regular coffee. “Unbound” is a little misleading as it still refers to a so-called “chlorogenic acid-potassium complex” is bound. However, when it comes into contact with the acid in the stomach, the caffeine is released directly. This induces a strong and fast effect. So if you're looking to get your day off to a flying start, the unbound caffeine version is for you.
Some people notice unpleasant symptoms after drinking coffee, such as sweating, tremors, nervousness or gastrointestinal problems. This may be due to the rapid effect of unbound caffeine. The Bright Awake capsules without free caffeine are ideal for these people. Here the caffeine is present in a bound form in guarana and matcha. They also promote concentration and help against tiredness and exhaustion, and all this without causing the annoying symptoms mentioned above. The Bright Awake capsules contain no free caffeine, but all the more guarana extract, which is known as a natural “wake-up” and increases performance over a period of several hours. In comparison to caffeine, its effect starts later, but lasts longer and thus guarantees a longer-term positive effect on cognitive abilities.
2. INGESTION, RECOMMENDATIONS & WARNINGS
Intake
Take the Bright Awake capsule in the morning together with your Dailybacs. If tiredness and exhaustion sets in, 1-2 more capsules can be taken at any time during the day. The daily consumption of a maximum of 3 capsules must not be exceeded.
Recommendations
The special composition of the Bright Awake AddOn guarantees an energetic start to the day.

3. INGREDIENTS
Two versions. an effect. Your energy boost.
Unbound caffeine version
unbound caffeine
→ After ingestion and release in the stomach, unbound caffeine leads to a release of the two hormones cortisol and adrenaline and other neurotransmitters, also via the inhibition of adenosine. This stimulates the nervous system and metabolism and increases heart activity. Overall, caffeine leads to a reduced state of tiredness. In addition, it has a stimulating effect on the psyche and increases one's own drive and motivation.
Guarana
→ Guarana is known as a natural “pick-me-up”. It provides energy, reduces tiredness and increases performance thanks to the caffeine it contains. Unlike the caffeine contained in coffee, the caffeine contained in guarana has a significantly longer effect, even if the effect takes longer to set in, and thus increases performance and concentration over several hours.
L-Theanine (Matcha)
→ L-Theanine, also known colloquially as Matcha, helps to reduce stress while promoting a relaxed and calm mood mental state without making you tired. L-Theanine leads to increased alpha brainwave activity, which is associated with a relaxed state. This improves brain performance, increases concentration and memory and at the same time brightens the mood.
When L-Theanine is combined with caffeine, it counteracts the "negative" effects of caffeine such as nervousness and restlessness, thereby increasing cognitive performance while reducing fatigue.
Maca root powder
→ The maca root is rich in calcium and potassium and contains many essential trace elements such as iron, zinc, iodine, copper and manganese. As a result, the powder of the maca root has a revitalizing effect and helps with chronic fatigue. In particular, the iron and vitamin B6 that are also included reduce fatigue and increase energy levels.
Free caffeine free version
Guarana
→ Guarana is known as a natural “pick-me-up”. It provides energy, reduces tiredness and increases performance thanks to the caffeine it contains. Unlike the caffeine contained in coffee, the caffeine contained in guarana has a significantly longer effect and thus increases performance and concentration over several hours.

What else is in it?
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is one of the vitamins that the human body cannot produce itself. It is involved in energy metabolism, the construction of nerve cells and the formation of red blood cells. This is why it is so important to get enough vitamin B12. Taking B12 supports the body's energy production and thus reduces tiredness and exhaustion. In addition, vitamin B12 has a supporting effect on brain function and thus increases performance.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is a versatile vitamin because it strengthens nerves and the body's defense system. Messenger substances (neurotransmitters) are required for normal brain function. Vitamin B6 helps in the production of these messenger substances such as dopamine and serotonin. But that's not all, vitamin B6 is also involved in the formation of the red blood pigment hemoglobin and can reduce the feeling of tiredness.
Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5 can increase mental performance and counteract fatigue, since vitamin B5 is a precursor of coenzyme A. Coenzyme A can increase resistance to stress and helps the body release energy from sugars and fats.
Therefore, vitamin B5 is essential for converting food into energy. However, it cannot be stored in the body and must therefore be absorbed anew every day.
Curcumin extract
Curcumin has a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect and, due to its chemical structure, can neutralize free radicals and thus render them harmless. This counteracts cardiovascular diseases, for example. In addition, taking curcumin extract promotes cognitive health. Curcumin is able to bind beta amyloid and thus reduce the formation of harmful beta amyloid plaques. Excessive levels of amyloid beta can negatively affect brain function health.
Green Tea Extract (Epigallocatechins-3-gallate (EGCG))
Green Tea Extract counteracts mental and physical fatigue while preventing stress by promoting the chemical conversion of the stress hormone Cortisol inhibits. In addition, it supports metabolism and has a positive effect on heart and brain health.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A helps maintain the protective functions of the skin, gastrointestinal tract and lungs. In addition, in its converted form, retinal, it is responsible for the visual process.
Vitamin B1 (thiamin)
Vitamin B1 is particularly important for the energy metabolism and helps to generate energy from carbohydrates. Thus, it is very important for mental condition and mental concentration. The body can only store small amounts of vitamin B1 and therefore needs a regular supply.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
Just like vitamin B1, vitamin B2 is involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates in the muscles, brain and other organs. Thus, it is also essential for mental condition and mental concentration. In addition, vitamin B2 is necessary for special proteins in the eye lens and reduces the risk of lens clouding. That's not all, it also supports vitamin B6 in strengthening nerves and the body's own defences.
4. CAN THE ADDON BE COMBINED WITH OTHER MYBACS PRODUCTS?
Simultaneous short-term use of the add-ons is not a problem. In the case of a longer-term intake, it must be decided individually which add-ons can be taken in addition to the Dailybacs and Dietbacs. It is important to stick to the NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) of the ingredients, i.e. the daily guideline values.
